There is some kind of weird link in Trump's head between his flop parade last week and his show of power last night. This is 47's reaction to being laughed at. He certainly won't be thinking of the consequences of his escalation. #TrumpIran

So true. There's nothing much going on behind those dead eyes other than a need to be at the centre of every story and to use whatever's happening to inflate his wealth. What there absolutely isn't is any insight into the impact of his actions on others. #TrumpIran

Trump's left the G7 because he's just not cut out for grown-up strategic conversations. He's no strategist & there's no 5-dimensional chess going on behind those dead eyes. He hasn't a clue what to do about Israel/Iran. His indecision leaves the Mid East v vulnerable. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
